...several new therapies that work by cutting a cancer cell’s lines of communication, either preventing it from reproducing or forcing it to self-destruct. Other signal-jamming treatments use monoclonal antibodies, tiny proteins that resemble the human immune system’s own antibodies but which bind to the surface of cancer cells. New York-based ImClone Systems has an antibody called IMC-C225, now in the final phases of testing in colorectal and head and neck cancer, that acts like bubble gum stuffed in a keyhole.
